- ThePhilosophy of Man: A New Introduction to Some Perennial Issues.Howard P. Kainz -1981 - University : University of Alabama Press.The questions considered in this book are common to philosophers, psychologists and anthropologists alike: What is man, and how does he differ from the animals? Is it true that man is less ruled by instinct than animals? How is man affected by heredity and environment? In particular, how are masculine and feminine "traits" affected by heredity and/or environment? Are there any relatively clear-cut stages in the evolution of the individual and of the human race? Does man have a mind or (...) soul distinct from the body, and does it entail the possibility of survival after physical death? Questions such as these posed throughout civilized time are examined anew in this book. Originally published by the University of Alabama Press in 1981. (shrink)
- Plato's Meno: APhilosophy of Man as Acquisitive.Robert Sternfeld,Harold Zyskind &George Kimball Plochmann -1978 - Southern Illinois University Press.In the_ _small world of the _Meno_,_ _one of the early Platonic Dialogues, often criticized for being ambiguous or inconclusive, or for being a lame and needless concession to popular morals, two distinguished philosophers find a perspective on much of twentieth-century philosophy. According to Sternfeld and Zyskind, the key to the _Meno_’_s _appeal is in itsphilosophy of man as acquisitive—in the dialogue’s notion of thought and action as a process of acquiring. The_ _means of acquiring values and cognitions (...) provides the context in which the mind has most direct contact with them, which grounds common sense generally and ties the dialogue technically to the emphasis on the immediacies of the mind—language, experience, and process—in much of recentphilosophy. Sternfeld and Zyskind proffer Plato’s 2,000-year-oldphilosophy as valid still in competition with other, and more modern, modes of thought, and suggest the need for a major turn inphilosophy which can take us beyond its minimalphilosophy without distorting the basic values on which the _Meno _shows man’s world to rest, however, precariously, even today.

- APhilosophy of Man. [REVIEW]W. L. M. -1964 -Review of Metaphysics 18 (2):385-385.This book's fourteen short essays are neither very technical nor definitive, as Schaff warns in his forward. They do, however, reveal the struggle of a sincere philosopher, who happens also to be a high official of the Polish Communist Party, against the absolutes that plague him—absolute determinism, total party discipline, the definitive revolution. Schaff here continues his debate with the existentialists, notably Sartre, and contributes some clarification to the problem of "Marxist ethics."—W. L. M.

Paradoxically, it is a field of study with a long and impressive history which began when the pre-Socratic philosophers first questioned their own identity in the midst of the world. Their questions fall into four broad areas:1. How is the male “opposite” to the female?2. What roles do male and female play in the generation and identity of offspring?3. Are (...) women and men wise in the same or different ways?4. Are women and men good in the same or different ways? (shrink)

- John Amos Comenius and hisPhilosophy of Man.Jan Cizek -2018 -Bruniana and Campanelliana 1 (24):155-163.The paper is concerned with Comenius’ philosophical view of man. In Comenius’ late writings, man is presented as a being determined by its own unique nature, at the core of which lies an existential openness founded on a free and limitless will. Comenius defines man as a being that creates itself endlessly and in infinite ways and presents a well-thought out argument to the effect that the defining feature of man is the God-given mind, conceived of as a trinity of (...) crucial dispositions – will, reason and agentive faculties. The will is set to be the central part of the mind. However, this concept is not characteristic for all writings by Comenius. In his earlier treatises, we can see that Comenius preferred reason over will. This paper tries to illustrate the genesis of Comenius’ conception and also to give a general overview of Comenius’ anthropology. Last but not least the paper aims to put Comenius’philosophy of man into context of Renaissance and Early modernphilosophy. (shrink)Export citation Bookmark

- A New Understanding of the Technological Progress in the ModernPhilosophy of Technology.Vitaly G. Gorokhov -2008 -Proceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 48:25-31.In the 17th-19th centuries human society formed the understanding of scientific and technological progress as continuous improvement of society and nature on the basis of the growing capacity of scientific knowledge of the world. This belief in continuous scientific and technological progress, absolutisation of a value-free scientific research, illusion of actual «creatability» of the world on the basis of the obtained knowledge resulted in emergence of a scientific religion, based mostly on the belief in the power of scientific knowledge and (...) the progressive character of technological activity, grounded on this knowledge. There appeared an illusion that if technology has made the Man of an animal, then, combined with science, it could make God of the Man, the Creator of not only artefacts but of the matter, nature and life as well. There is no insuperable barrier, neither in experimental physical science nor in engineering, between the Natural and the Artificial (the "second nature" created by human activity). From the Natural point of view, any natural or technical system is regarded as a self-contained object, an organismdeveloping in accordance with its own internal laws, whereas the Artificial point of view considers it a mechanism designed as a result of human activity. The task ofphilosophy is to open new possible worlds, new understanding of the world, to make them the people’s outlook and then embody them in reality. This fact inevitably influencesphilosophy of technology that is due to become not only a philosophic study of scientific and technological progress but also a newphilosophy of technological sustainable development in the global world.

- The Mind of God and the Works of Man.Edward Craig -1987 - Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.Seeking to rediscover the connection betweenphilosophy as studied in universities and those general views of man and reality which are 'philosophy' to the educated layman, Edward Craig here offers a view ofphilosophy and its history since the early seventeenth century. He presents this period as concerned primarily with just two visions of the essential nature of man. One portrays human beings as made in the image of God, required to resemble him as far as lies (...) in our power; the other sees us as autonomous creators of our own environment and values. The author writes with a broad sweep not encouraged by recent fashion, yet shows how textual detail which previous commentators have found opaque becomes transparent when viewed against such a background. In the final chapter he treats passages from recent work in the same way. The general conceptions which philosophical thought embodies can equally well be embodied in other media, especially literary. The author illustrates this point with German and English examples and thereby draws together disciplines often felt to be far apart. He also reveals striking similarities between Anglo-American and certain twentieth-century continental European lines of thought. (shrink)

- Symbolism in Religion: Ricoeurian Hermeneutics and FilipinoPhilosophy of Religion.Allan Cacho -2007 -Kritike 1 (2):122-131.In the study of the Filipino thoughts on religion, there are two important features of religion to consider in order to formulate a method that is suitable for the study of Filipinophilosophy of religion. First, man experiences an encounter with the sacred, and this is called a religious experience. And this causes him to believe or to assent, and specifically, this is called faith. And second, symbols are used in expressing religious experience.

- Abraham Joshua Heschel'sPhilosophy of Man.Waldemar Szczerbiński -1970 -Forum Philosophicum: International Journal for Philosophy 6 (1):59-68.The subject of the following discourse is, as the title itself points out, the anthropology of Heschel. Considering the fact that Heschel is in general unknown in Poland, I shall take the liberty to make known, in short, some pieces of information about him. Heschel was born in Warsaw, Poland on January 11th 1907. After graduating from the Gymnasium in Wilno he started his studies at Friedrich Wilhelm Universität, Berlin. At the Berlin University he studied at thePhilosophy Department (...) and, additionally, he took up studies in the sphere of SemiticPhilosophy and History of Art. In 1937 Heschel was chosen by Martin Buber as his successor at Mittelstelle für Jüdische Erwachsenen-Bildung in Frankfurt on the Main. In October he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Poland together with all the Jews of Polish nationality. After returning to Warsaw he taughtphilosophy and biblical sciences at the Institute of Jewish Studies. Six weeks before the German aggression against Poland he left for England and then for the United States where he stayed until his death. He was the Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Except for his didactical activity, our philosopher did not neglect creative work. As time went on he was becoming a more and more well-known and appreciated intellectualist and social worker in America. His activity went far beyond the boundaries of the Jewish world. (shrink)

- Alienation: Marx's Conception of Man in a Capitalist Society.Bertell Ollman -1971 - Cambridge University Press.In this book, the most thorough account of Marx's theory of alienation yet to have appeared in English, Professor Ollman reconstructs the theory from its constituent parts and offers it as a vantage point from which to view the rest of Marxism. The book further contains a detailed examination of Marx'sphilosophy of internal relations, the much neglected logical foudation of his method, and provides a systematic account of Marx's conception of human nature. Because of its almost unique concern (...) with helping readers understand Marx's unusual use of language, Alienation has proven very popular in university courses on Marxism on both undergraduate and graduate levels. The first edition was widely reviewed, and in this new edition Professor Ollman replies to his critics in 'More on internal relations,' published here as Appendix II. In addition to this new appendix the author now provides a more systematic discussion of Marx's theory of ideology, elements of which were formerly dispersed throughout the book. He also attempts to set the treatment of political alienation within the broader framework of Marx's theory of the state as a model of how an approach based on internal relations can be used to integrate various apparently contradictory interpretations of Marx's views.

- Plato’s MenoAPhilosophy of Man as Acquisitive. [REVIEW]A. G. -1979 -Review of Metaphysics 32 (4):773-775.Robert Sternfeld and Harold Zyskind have prepared, with considerable attention to details, a conscientious commentary upon Plato’s Meno. They make some use of, even though they differ from, Jacob Klein’s "distinguished linear and linguistic commentary". The authors bring to bear on the Meno their studies in logic and rhetoric. Professor Sternfeld is the author of Frege’s Logical Theory; Professor Zyskind is the author of a rhetorical analysis of the Gettysburg Address.
